I use a newer model RCBS hand priming tool, in addition to my Lee hand priming tool. Both work very well.

Was that Remmy brass by chance? Had some do that with me in 300 Ultra.
One firing and it was junk.................. |
It was nickle plated .357 Mag brass, can't recall the manufacturer. I also found that it tended to split.

Dillon 550B, Lee hand prime, I like the feel of the LEE for seating Benchrest primers.

Hey Bushy,
nice setup..
how far is the stroke to prime?
is it sort of push a bit and it is done, or do you have to swing the arm all the way down to seat the primer?

gelandangan...You have to go through a full stroke, but that is where the ability to "feel" the primer seat comes in. I've never really found this to be a problem. Probably because I'm just not in a hurry.
Thanks guys. It took several years to figure out what arangement worked (for me) and what didn't. My bench is rather simple, but convienant (for me)...It's a bit cluttered here, but....

I had just completed a loading session and most everything has been put away when this was taken. I do the same thing. Only one calibre on the bench at a time. Until the powder is returned to the canister, the canister stays just in front of the loading press. I never leave powder in the dispenser after a session.

No...Not a closet...A small room all to myself. It has only one drawback. It's a long way from the refrigerator...But it does have a closet in this small room that I call my Gun/Reloading Room

Im very clostraphobic in a ver big way, so I could not be in there to long. Its a nice neat set up though.
Mine is a 12X20 insulated, heated, airconditioned workshop seperate from the house because of powder/primer precautions.
WOW you have your own photo hangin in your reloading room.
Is that a 1022 in the corner by the door?

Crackshot,
If you look closely its the same picture he took his mug shot for his display picture off too!
Mind you I noticed first on that gunsafe it has a red sticker that says "LOCKED" on it.

It's a 9' X 9' room with a closet.
Photo of me in my room? Why yes...I know I've mentioned it on here before that I was a conceited arrigant egotistical bast**d. Didn't I??
Yup... That's a Ruger 10/22 in the corner. I have two loaded magazines standing by. I use it for farel cats, armodillas, raccoons, stray dogs, opossums and any other two and four legged pests that enter my property uninvited.
Dimitri...That is a magnetic strip that has "OPEN" on the other side. It's my reminder...
